Reslife4Life Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 No one gets mad that you can’t pay with a check at sporting events or concerts. It’s just what the venue wants to accept. There is no law that states anywhere has to accept cash, they just have to accept some form of US currency, and that would be credit/debit. Who was paying in cash at games in the first place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was paying in cash at games in the first place? Ohio schools must accept cash, new Ohio law states. How this only applies to high schools and not colleges is beyond me, but not accepting cash is a dumb shift in society. Since when is having a bank a must or risk being barred from society (the last people who risked being barred from society - anti-vaxx/masks - ended up being correct)? People used to think for themselves and even question banks (gasp). Now we're forcing everyone to be beholden to the banks? If someone chooses not to use a bank, but has cash, they should be allowed to attend a Zips game. With "inclusivity" being at the forefront of social agendas, it's a hypocritical decision to refuse service to those who wish to use cash. Kent State level of stupidity & hypocrisy.

If by correct you mean dead or seriously ill for no reason, then OK. I do agree they should continue accepting cash, but come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use cards all the time - very rarely do I carry much cash, if any at all. The issue isn't how often cards are used. The issue is why there's a movement to not accept legal tender. Who does it harm to accept cash vs. who does it benefit not to accept cash? Would be a damn shame if our attendance wasn't able to increase by 20% because 2 people only had cash to pay for tickets. "Sorry, we only accept cashless forms of payment. As you can see by the 99% empty stadium, we have grounds to refuse entry to those without credit or debit cards." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 What we need now is a co-branded Akron Zips/Amex credit card with 5x rewards points on all Zips-related purchases, 80,000 bonus points for spending $3,000 in the first six months and your choice of Zips logo designs on the card. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipsBurgh Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 At the Pittsburgh cashless venues almost all have reverse ATMs that allow you to put cash in and print a disposable, temporary card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a number of similarities between the two football programs. Both rosters were the worst in college football when Moorhead and Brown took over. Looking at Akron: Likely losses: Ohio State, Rutgers, South Carolina Most Likely Wins: Colgate, Kent State, Buffalo Would need 3 from: Ohio, Bowling Green, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo Looking at UMASS Likely Losses: Missouri, Mississippi State, Georgia Most Likely Wins: Central Connecticut, Wagner, Buffalo Would need 3 from: Eastern Michigan, Toledo, Miami (OH), Northern Illinois, Liberty, UCONN I haven’t followed MTSU enough to have much of an opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 ESPN+ has Mac media day replay on demand. Zips segment starts at little after 2:05. mostly coach speak/stuff we already know: - need to get the run game going. Simmons has been doing good so far - Finley won games at NC st and Cal. He’s looked good so far - safeties/CBs might have most depth and competition on the team. I think this is good to hear considering DL and LB group is a little more proven with returners form last year. - Joe keeps it real with the scheduling talk. Definitely acknowledges the difficulty of OOC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely acknowledges the difficulty of OOC. I was surprised to hear him say the secondary has the most depth. It feels like the situation we had along the DL last year in that we knew the talent level had been increased, but didn’t know how it would play out. If the secondary can take a step forward like the DL did, this defense should be one of the best in the conference. I was disappointed to hear there is still an ongoing competition at QB. Seemed like the spring game made it pretty obvious who the best QB was. Might be a situation where they are still hoping Bullock makes a leap in progression before the season begins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
